[cotton] Song of the Eared Robot (English Cover)

My first and possibly last cover of a Kasane Teto song, and another one that holds special nostalgic significance to me. As always, please feel free to use these lyrics, but it would be cool if you credited me.

Lyrics:

Gather your thoughts with care
Hold them tight, you have to beware
Shadows will lead astray
Hear my voice and come away

Roads that you choose to walk
Are they roads that lead you to loss?
No need to be afraid
Hear my voice and come away

Words fallen to decay
Twisted words that get in your way
Words you can’t bear to hear
Stilly you have to make them clear

Two parts combine as one
Do the parts mean more than their sum?
Phonemes amalgamate
Making meaning, shaping fate

Tying the ends of the Markov chain
When it is done, do you know what remains?

Love me for today,
Love me for today,
Love me for today,
Though tomorrow you’ll throw my heart away
Clinging to the past
Just out of your grasp
If you want to cry, raise the ‘N’
And then you will be just fine

Before you wandered off
Lines of verse you muttered were lost
Where has the spirit gone?
Were they words you put to song?

Up, down, and all around
Finding out what F0 means
Catharsis is the key
When you find it, tell me please

Hold your breath when you dive
Ride the waves and you’ll stay alive
Speaking in tongues unknown
Words you spoke now sink like stone
Easy as drawing breath
Write the words you sentenced to death
We’ve come full-circle now
Certainly you’ll tell me how

And so you
Love me for today,
Love me for today,
Tire of me, get rid of me,
And throw my heart away
Draw a circle here
Red will make it clear
Even if your eyes fill with tears,
You must write down all your fears

Moving on ahead
Carry what you said
Hold back all your sobs
Play along
As you sing this little song

Love me for today,
Love me for today,
Giving up that past
Though at last
I had made it all this way
